A few days ago I wrote that the proceedings of the 15th International Congress of Speleology were posted as three PDFs on the Karst Information Portal (KIP) at

http://www.lib.usf.edu/karst-test/SPT--BrowseResources.php?ParentId=367

Each PDF is for each volume of the proceedings. I wrote that the files were large, 11, 16, and 18 Mb for volumes 1, 2, and 3. Now they are much larger: 86, 153, and 155 Mb. The earlier files were compressed and the quality of the figures was poor. The figures now look excellent in the new PDFs. I apologize for any inconvenience.

As a reminder, you can buy printed copies of the proceedings from the NSS Bookstore at http://nssbookstore.org/index.php?mode=store&submode=showitem&itemnumber=04-0106-2378 .

Also for a limited time you can get a fun cowboy boot drinking cup for free when you order the proceedings. These were very popular at the International Congress. Just include the words "COWBOY BOOT" with your order.
